Publisher's summary

Things are coming to a head for Ahren and his companions. It is true that they have won the Paladins Fisker and Aluna over to their cause in the campaign against the Adversary, but the Pall Pillar is going through an ominous change.

Not realizing that the High Fang Sven has brought his master a gruesome sacrifice, the companions gather quickly in King's Island, where they join the first conclave to be held in centuries. Yet, on their arrival they are confronted with dreadful news: unknown Dark Ones have overrun the tiny country of Hjalgar, whose inhabitants are now in mortal danger. Ahren is now facing his most difficult task, for the Dark Days have returned to Jorath with a vengeance.

My Favorite

This series is one of my favorites ever, I know sometimes the writing seems repetitive but I am sure it’s because it’s translated from German. Anyways can’t wait to listen to the rest!

Fascinating

Continues to grow the characters in unexpected ways. This only makes the reader more interested in the story.

About to become the “erstwhile” series to which I was listening.

I have been really enjoying the series. But god damn, the author or translator need to find a different synonym for “former.” Just say “old” or “former.” Each of the 700 times I hear the word “erstwhile” it’s like being stabbed with a windblade in my brain. Very distracting.

Amazing as always!

Great development of characters, Ahren specifically is notable (as is his wolf, as you'd expect). Gildart is exceptional as usual. Looking forward to the next book!

Love this author and story 10/10

I could rant about the things I love about this series but I don’t have the patience to type it out. This series is amazing and i really enjoy the characters, story, and attention to detail within the world building. Varying cultures, economic situations, and well thought out magic usage. Would highly recommend 10/10 can’t wait for the next one.

the character building

This is an epic fantasy. It has a rich world and history along with a sweeping story and characters. It is well worth the time to read or listen to.

95% Love 5% Hate

They were building up Sven for the last 3 books. I was looking forward to his and Ahren confrontation more than anything. Their battle was far too short for Sven’s 3 book buildup with no serious damage to our main characters, only Hulkand which was a minor supporting character died. The way they built him up I expected him to take out at least one of the Non-Paladin main characters or at least do significant damage to the group…other than that I’ve been absolutely loving this series.
